Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1382: Chapter 881: All Factions Gather at Lotus Heart Valley

"I want to buy more demon cores!" Yang Zhenshan said.

"How many?"

"The more, the better!" Yang Zhenshan replied with a smile.

Yun Xiao laughed heartily, "You, you, if you want to connect with the Yun Que Clan, you can say so directly. Why beat around the bush with an old man like me?"

"Isn’t it because I’m afraid of offending you, senior?" Yang Zhenshan also laughed.

Yun Xiao restrained his smile and said, "Introducing you to the Yun Que Clan is possible, but they’re not so easy to deal with."

He stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and continued, "All right, when we return from Lotus Heart Valley, I’ll take you to Cangyu Mountain for a visit!"

"At that time, prepare yourself well. The Yun Que Clan prefers foods like spirit fish, so you can bring them some!"

He didn’t mind introducing Yang Zhenshan to the Yun Que Clan because it didn’t affect him in any way.

The Yun Que Clan was willing to trade with him because they needed external resources, and he also desired resources unique to the Yun Que Clan, such as demon cores.

As for whether Yang Zhenshan would steal his business with the Yun Que Clan, there was no need to worry because his business dealings with them were minimal, only once a year, with a volume of a few tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to expand the trade, but he simply didn’t have enough resources to trade with the Yun Que Clan.

If Yang Zhenshan could refine demon essence pills, he wouldn’t mind giving this bit of profit to him.

"Spirit fish? They actually like eating that?" Yang Zhenshan was a bit surprised.

"Haha, the Yun Que Clan is very greedy about food. They eat various things like spirit fruits, spirit rice, spirit insects, and mutant beasts, but they particularly love spirit fish, probably because they rarely get to eat it deep in the mountains!" Yun Xiao explained.

Yang Zhenshan suddenly understood; it’s the rarity that makes something precious. The resources deep in the Yunxiao Mountain Range are rich and can support the Yun Que Clan’s survival, but they can’t satisfy their culinary desires.

The so-called spirit fish are fish containing spiritual energy. Fish mutant beasts are also considered spirit fish, but usually, only fish with delicious taste are called spirit fish.

For example, the thorn scale fish from the Spirit Source Land cannot be called spirit fish because its meat isn’t tasty.

Hearing that the Yun Que Clan likes spirit fish, Yang Zhenshan had an idea.

The aquaculture in the Spirit Source Land has already developed over many years, and many water mutant beasts like the White River Spirit Fish and Nine Patterned Xuan Turtle have been bred.

If the Yun Que Clan likes them, he can provide them with a long-term and stable supply.

...

The long procession swiftly traversed the Yunxiao Mountain Range, covering three to four thousand miles in less than a day.

When the team from the Sea of Spirit appeared outside Lotus Heart Valley, two Foundation Establishment cultivators flew out from within.

They were Master Yun Ge and Lin Qihe.

Master Yun Ge was as always, wearing a white robe, slightly plump, crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes, and a warm smile on his face, yet exuding a subtle pressure.

Meanwhile, Lin Qihe seemed extremely old, with a hint of twilight about him and a sinister aura.

Currently, Lin Qihe was indifferent to Lotus Heart Valley and didn’t care about the future of the Qingli Dynasty. His heart was filled only with hatred.

But he had to accompany Master Yun Ge here because if he wanted to seek revenge, he would need Master Yun Ge’s support.

The reason White Cloud Immortal City was willing to intervene in the Qingli Dynasty’s affairs was that Lin Qihe sold out the interests of the Qingli Dynasty. Not only did he hand over Lotus Heart Valley to White Cloud Immortal City, but he also made the Qingli Dynasty a subordinate, requiring it to pay tribute to White Cloud Immortal City every ten years.

This means that the Qingli Dynasty no longer belongs to the Qingli Six Families but to White Cloud Immortal City, and even the Qingli Six Families are now part of White Cloud Immortal City.

Master Yun Ge watched the slowly approaching Glazed Cloud Boat with an enthusiastic smile.

However, he secretly sent a message to Lin Qihe, "How much foundation does Xuanqing Sect still have now?"

Lin Qihe replied, "I do not know, but Xuanqing Sect’s foundation should not be deep. It is far inferior to Hidden Sword Mountain!"

"Hidden Sword Mountain, huh! Haha~~" A peculiar glimmer passed in Master Yun Ge’s eyes.

Hidden Sword Mountain has many connections with White Cloud Immortal City. After all, only about three hundred years have passed since Heavenly Sword True Monarch’s ascension, and White Cloud True Monarch has established White Cloud Immortal City for nearly two thousand years.

In the past, Hidden Sword Mountain and White Cloud Immortal City dominated the entire Yunxiao Mountain Range from east to west.

The Qingli Dynasty and the Sea of Spirit, back then, were essentially part of Hidden Sword Mountain’s domain.

Over three hundred years ago, after Heavenly Sword True Monarch’s ascension, the three spirit sects separated from Hidden Sword Mountain, and the Qingli Dynasty became independent, no longer a vassal of Hidden Sword Mountain.

During these three centuries, White Cloud Immortal City refrained from intervening in the western region of the Yunxiao Mountain Range, out of respect for Hidden Sword Mountain.

Even though Heavenly Sword True Monarch had ascended, White Cloud Immortal City still didn’t underestimate Hidden Sword Mountain.

Moreover, there was some friendship between White Cloud True Monarch and Heavenly Sword True Monarch, which is why they didn’t target Hidden Sword Mountain.

But three hundred years have passed, and former friendships have faded. Additionally, Hidden Sword Mountain has been too low-key these years, so White Cloud Immortal City could not resist reaching out here.

The Qingli Dynasty was merely White Cloud Immortal City’s first step; they also want the Sea of Spirit and the Valley of Nether Prison, which is the Nether Prison Sect’s base.

Master Yun Ge still maintained great enthusiasm towards the three spirit sects.

As the Glazed Flying Boat and mutant beasts landed, Master Yun Ge personally stepped forward to greet Yun Xiao and the others.
